PBE Chat with the Playtest Team - 8.13

Hey guys!
I&rsquo;m Riot Novalas. I&#039;m a QA Analyst on Riot&rsquo;s Playtest Team, a group of high elo players who work on Core Gameplay playing new and in dev content before they&rsquo;re released. It&rsquo;s our job to test the changes that our designers come up with to ensure that we&rsquo;re introducing positive changes to League in terms of both balance and fun.
Lots of changes are planned in the upcoming patches and a lot of content is or has been on PBE for awhile. We&rsquo;d like you guys to talk to us about your questions or concerns with upcoming content - We&rsquo;ve tested a lot of it and would be more than happy to give you guys insight on how the changes are panning out. If you&rsquo;d like us to test something in particular out - let us know and we can try to get it into a playtest.
We&#039;ve got a new and improved challenger coming to the rift on the PBE this patch. It&#039;s not Bbtrox or Cctrox. We&#039;ve got Aatrox and he&#039;s undergone a large VGU. Myself and Riot Endstep were the primary playtesters for Aatrox so if you want our insight on favorite runes, builds, and optimizations, ask away!
Let&#039;s make Patch 8.13 launch as smoothly as possible!
Here&rsquo;s a link to the content currently on the PBE.

**What's a Dev Corner?**
This is a place where League of Legends developers can share thoughts, questions, and retrospectives on all things to do with the game. Please keep discussions focused on the topics at hand - we'll be pretty firm about attempts at hijacking top comments with unrelated content. The plan with the Dev Corner is to pilot various types of communication, ranging from open office hours to 'state of the game' essays. Every month, we'll have 'open forum' style discussions to talk about future ideas. In the future we'll have a calendar up!
**Culture & Etiquette**
Don't be an asshole. Seriously. Since this is going to be an experimental environment, we ask that everyone do their best to keep the discussions constructive and respectful. Seek to understand rather than demanding to be convinced, and we will do the same. Our long-term goal is to set up a positive environment for developers to engage in quick, constructed conversations. As always, adhere to the Universal Rules.
